Our Courses
Nin Yoga is becoming more and more well-known for its courses and yoga school. Whether it is shorter 4-week beginner courses or those massive 8-month-long yoga teacher training, if keen to keep learning and upskilling in this thing called life, we got you covered.
Why a course?
There are a couple of reasons.
Firstly, in courses, you are showing up at the same time and place consistently. The repetition and routine in an adult learning environment help you to absorb that knowledge in a way that is often difficult to do in open-level weekly studio classes.
Secondly, if you want to get certified by Yoga Alliance and become an accredited yoga teacher, you have to do the hours and the tasks that are required to get you there. This can ONLY be done in a course with a recognised yoga school (aka, us!).

Date: Saturday the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th of March
Time: 10:45am - 11:45am
Where: Nin Yoga Penrith

Many exercises on a reformer machine are simply mat Pilates exercises that use the machine and its springs to either make the exercise more challenging or more supportive.
This is the beauty of the reformer – it can help intensify exercises (by increasing resistance), but it can also ease exercises (by providing support through resistance).
Reformer machines offer so many options, and alternatives to exercises that a mat simply wouldn’t allow.
That all being said, however, the reformer machine can be intimidating for beginners! In this course we plan to break it down, explaining how the reformer works and how to modify it during class, as well as foundations in pilates.

Got a baby in that belly? At Nin Yoga, you are welcome to join any of our classes as our teachers will modify them for you, but we recommend attending a 4-week course instead. Every future mumma is different, and the class plan will be carefully curated to be specific to a growing belly's needs, including how to stay safe in open-level classes and yoga techniques you can use for the big day.
You will be with many other like-minded mummas in a safe and gentle space, ready to connect with your baby on a deeper and more magical level.

Each class will go for 75 mins, introducing subjects and discussing topics such as:
-
Breath Awareness & Meditation
-
Regulating the breath within a Vinyasa Flow
-
Learning Transitions within a Vinyasa Flow without getting flustered
-
Alignment and Safety in some of the foundational Yoga Poses found in a Vinyasa Class, as well as when to add props

4 Week Beginner Aerial Yoga Course
Coming Soon!
In an Aerial Yoga class, you perform the same poses you do on a yoga mat, except you use a silk hammock that's suspended from the ceiling as a prop to support you through the various flows.
Aerial Yoga is as diverse as yoga on the earth, with the opportunity to explore styles such as Restorative, Yin, Deep Stretching, Vinyasa & Power.
As there is much less pressure on the joints, you may find you are able to visit certain asanas you wouldn’t usually in a regular yoga class, and did we say that the Savasana in the end is done in a cocoon in the sling, with the option for a gentle swing by the teacher? What a dreammmmmmm.
Our four-week Aerial Yoga course includes all four 75-minute classes in a workshop style. This means you have the opportunity to ask questions and work on what is holding you back with our teacher.
Everyone in the class will be a beginner, so the teachers are ready to make you feel as welcome and supported as possible.
Loved learning about our offerings?
Well, we want to learn more about YOU!
All of our open level weekly classes are also beginner-friendly, and new students can even take advantage of our 30-day unlimited trial for $89, which btw is valid at BOTH of our studios, and even includes a 30-minute private with a teacher of your choice.
